Even more powerful is when the art comes from a well-known source; Jim Carrey, a well-known actor, has begun to publish his political art on social media. With 18.3M followers, it's easy to see how influential he can be in this political space.
@_chrishaynes#claims#engl3246 Because these pictures reach a large audience, ideas proliferate much more quickly. Even with each picture containing "1000 words," they can be disected much quicker than a formal report or article on the same topic.
@_chrishaynes#engl3246 When voicing political opinions, art can be a powerful medium. A painting like this has the ability to tell a lot, and reach a broader audience regardless of language or even illiteracy. The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind.
@engl3246_bruce@_chrishaynes What role do you think the facial expressions play among the still's obvious attempt to recruit Ms. Marvels of all types? #engl3246
@_chrishaynes#claims#engl3246 the inclusion of multiple races, ages, and genders empowers and gives courage to those with good ethics and intentions, but even still remain marginalized. We as a people need all the courage we can get.
@_chrishaynes#deets#engl3246 each one is holding a copy of the book cover that gives the illusion that, with their head on top, they are their own version of Ms. Marvel.
@_chrishaynes#synths#engl3246 Our goal on Earth is to progress humanity positively and inclusively, so it's appropriate that we should give power to all those that want to further that goal, and not discriminate.
@_chrishaynes#synths#engl3246 this pays heed to our previous close reading, showing that Ms. Marvel, a hero with good ethics and significant courage, can and SHOULD be embodied by all.
@_chrishaynes#claims#engl3246 To be heroic, one must be always willing to make these tough decisions about what is the right thing to do, and act quickly upon them. People can become courageous themselves upon realizing that superheroes ALWAYS have to make these decisions, and still prevail.
@_chrishaynes#claims#engl3246 Her use of this quote, that classifies decisions into an absolute outcome, speaks a lot about the ethics that superheroes embody.
@tkayne403@_chrishaynes I think in times of trouble, we ultimately think of the right and wrong things to do, as somewhat of an instinct. So when face-to-face with trouble, Kamala remembers a quote that helps her make this decision, reflecting on the implications both sides have. #engl3246
@_chrishaynes#engl3246 Sometimes we all need a reminder to make the right choice: that of good over bad. It helps us stay on track ethically, and can give us the courage when we know how even small choices can affect many.
@_chrishaynes#claims#engl3246 I think she wants to argue that good and bad actions alike (not necessarily confined to killing/saving people) have similar degrees of effects, to make a point that encourages others to always make the right choice of action when pressured.
@_chrishaynes#synths#engl3246 Kamala uses this quote to empower herself and others, explaining the effects that bad actions can have in a larger sense, but more importantly the power that good actions possess
@_chrishaynes#deets#engl3246 this excerpt from the book, made up of three panels, is a classic example of a story's literary movement; we see the build up among the first two, a sort of hesitance, and then the courage is established that progresses the story and satisfies the reader
